Analysis of Towering
I'm towering above you,
Staring into those eyes,
That seem so beautiful and full of truth,
But are really full of lies.
You are such a jerk,
But I know that's your own fault,
'Cause you were the one who got a brain freeze
From an evil malt.
Now that the pain has seeped in
I know what to expect from you.
You used to say you loved me,
And I thought it was true.
How stupid I was
To let you into my heart,
'Cause it should've been obvious
We were worlds apart.
You are such a lier,
But that's normal for you,
'Cause you lie every day,
That's the sort of things you do.
Now it's over,
And the happiness of being seperated is overpowering.
Don't try to lie to me,
'Cause I see it as I'm towering.
